Recently, I found out that two relatives of mine smoke marijuana for relaxation purposes.
To those of you who smoke or eat marijuana (via cookies or brownies), what have your experiences been?

very bad, lowers your testosterone levels overtime. Also it's illegal.

It sucks, makes you lazy, not care a fuck about anyhting and you get dumb.
-

Stupid arguments.
1. steroids
2. who gives a fuck? And it's not even illegal in a lot of places.
-

Haha you love the cock, why are you worried?
-

The two relatives live in Colorado and supposedly it's legal there (I'm not sure if that's true).
Have the testosterone lowering effects been proven or is that broscience?

alot of people give pot that "gateway drug" rap which is kinda bullshit
for me, I have, honestly, only smoked pot 3 times in my life. I wasn't a avid smoker by any means so it didn't act as any sort of "Gateway" to any of the really hardcore drugs that I would abuse badly
in the end, Pot isn't "the gateway"
-
btw, the health hazards from smoking pot are way worse than cigarettes, if anyhting you should eat it, not smoke it.
-
For me, it ehances my perception. It makes me stop and look at my life from a different perspective. Its a definately a trip. It takes some time to get over the paranoid/self conscious phase. It enhances everything! Music/movies/food/sex/nature. But like everything else in life you need to do it in moderation. Atleast for me. I've even lifted on weed, baked out of my mind, Ipod jamming, most ridiculous mind/muscle connection ever.

I think that supposed logic is highly flawed. One can argue that any type of drug is a gateway for another type of drug.
Be it cigarettes to cocaine or alcohol to PCP, there is no establish rule with regards to what serves as the starting point.

Marijuana is cool if you use it irregularly, like twice a week tops. But any more I get too lazy and lethargic. It's kind of like getting drunk... it's fun to do once in a while but if you go overboard it starts sucking big time.
-
Your wrong. It is a gateway drug because it gives you the feeling of being 'high' and people want something better and stronger so they turn to meth, crack etc.
As for the rest of the people in this thread you're all pussies. Pot is awesome and is great for relaxing. Like it was said, couple times a week not pothead status.
it's not a matter of "wrong" or "right"
for ME- it wasn't
however, for others it may be
-
Easy to use in moderation... in comparison to other psychotropics (including fags and alcohol) I think it takes an addictive personality or the presence of other disorders in order to really abuse pot
Gives you a smooth relaxed feeling all over and it's also great to consume before and after sex

The problem is most people have to go to shady people to get their weed. And guess what dude's probably also dealing in other shit too. My friend got offered an 8-ball of cocainah when he went to pick up some herb.
-
I like it but over time you get lazy, unmotivated, and sometimes careless. I dont like that it fucks with Short term memory but it enhance my creativity and relax me. I prefer it to alcohol.

1 Marijuana cig = 10 tobacco cigs do the math on your lungs.

I heard it broscience as far as I know, maybe if you googled it it would show some studies who knows.

Preferred over alcohol

Evidence suggests otherwise. Tobacco has a shitload of additives. Weed is just the flower of the plant dried.

With alot of the strains out now, one hit and your golden. Esp if youre an occasional smoker. And if your worried about your lungs, edibles are awesome. The one cool thing about weed, you can quit cold turkey at anytime without any withdrawals. Name any drug without withdrawals. Hell if i skip caffeine in the morning I get the most bone crushing headache ever.

But what do you smoke it with?
I've never seen anyone smoke pure weed, or is that common now?

The reese's peanut butter cup ice cream? I stand corrected sir!

if you work out daily, use a well cleaned and diffused bong, and well prepared bud, there is basically zero detrimental cardio effect of weed on your lungs. If you do not hold the smoke in, which you shouldnt, because all CBNs, CBDs, THC, etc is absorbed by your lungs within the first .5 second of inhaling.
-

That's all weed is. Pure. It's just a trimmed flower that's dried. Nothing added.
I usually use a bong. All I need is one or 2 tokes and I'm toasted.

Dangers are nothing more than the smoke inhalation and some possible mental challenges if you have a weak mind. None of these sides are very detrimental, nor are they permanent. Doesn't do anything to test, doesn't retard you and isn't going to make you crave a pile of cocaine or heroin injected into your rectum like the fear mongers suggest.
I finally got my medical exception so I'm able to use it anywhere a person can smoke. I eat brownies at work because they're douchy and try barring me from smoking, so I'm being a good little boy for now. I prepare my marijuana infused butter or oil very carefully and make sure not to denature the psychoactive goodies. I freeze my butter and make brownies every few weeks. Dosage is perfect for my needs. A full sized brownie would knock a 300lb man on his ass and send him to a psycho ward though... a dosage is the size of half a two bite brownie, possibly less. Great stuff. 8)

Nick Diaz (mma fighter) is a huge pothead. Dude does triathalons to stay in shape. I honestly don't think it's anywhere near as bad as tobacco on the lungs. There was an article though that said smoking tobacco and weed together really fucks up your lungs.

What's your exact location? :D
-
i've only smoked about two or three times i think, and all i can tell you is it seemed WAY less detrimental than alcohol. on the other hand this might just be my fear of imbibing the shitload of poison required to get drunk; one of my friends is paranoid about his lungs, and claims alcohol is much safer. ::)
very odd experience and honestly i can't see it being addicting... but then again i only smoked a couple of times. just seems like a waste of time to me... i was totally out of it.

I have friends that fun full marathons any time one is available and within driving distance. They are HUGE pot heads too.
I don't mind recreational smoking, because I do a lot of that too. But it's always responsible in the sense that I don't look like a giggly little fagboy who's got his hand in a bag of Cheetos and stammering on about the origins of life and Joe Rogan podcasts.
(please note, I do not discriminate against Cheetos, deep philosophical discussions about the origins of life nor Joe Rogan... just not all at once...)
@DK II
I have severe migraines, brotha! Preventative meds are too excessive and contain volatile side affects that make it unworthy of taking on a regular basis. I have some triptan medications I use to abort migraines, and I now take a little bit of an anti-inflammatory medication from time to time. I try staying away from the pharmaceuticals because they really pound my liver and kidneys... smashed my fucking skull open when I was a kid which might have caused them. Migraines run in the family too, so it looks like I was destined to have suffer.

Cool, that's really a good way to treat it then, much better than downing the advils like candy.

of course it's not as bad as tobacco on the lungs...tobacco causes cancer of the mouth, throat, lungs, emphysema, and a million other terrible things...alcohol and tobacco are 2 of the worst drugs in the world for you...both directly cause cancer and death and ...rofl ppl think just cause theyre legal

For sure. Between NSAIDS and orals like Superdrol and m1t, my innards have taken a thrashing. Liver and kidney values always come back amazing, but I think I may have a lesion or something. That's partially my fault, whatever it is. But I've learned my lesson and abstain from drugs that I truly think are harmful.
It's nice knowing that no matter how much I smoke or eat, I can't possibly harm myself outside of getting a sore throat or tripping out for a few hours.

This is 100% spot on.
Now add shitty food loaded with transfats and sugar to it (also a legal drug IMO) and you have the worlds 3 biggest killers.

Well, besides the cancer and 100000000 other bad things that come with smoking.
I like the brownies though.

That's true... combusted plant matter isn't ideal to saturating your airways with.
The good thing is that I rent another property and grow my own, that way I know EXACTLY what goes into it. I use primarily organic, hydroponic nutrients and avoid questionable products and chemicals. I also make sure to clean my hydroponic equipment meticulously, monitor everything from start to finish and flush, dry and cure everything like a champ. I don't like putting chemicals and compounds into my body unless I am extremely confident in it's quality, contents and understand the implications inside and out.
I bought my first house this month so I'll need to get a new secured location to grow again. I also have a limit of 25 plants now so an upgraded facility is definitely in order. It will look like a professional lab once I've got it all setup. 8)

Hey if you ever need a trimmer, I know my way around a bush ;)

So what's the consensus?
Safe in moderation?
Addictive over time?
Gateway?
Possibly a better alternative to cigarettes and alcohol?

Imo anything that alters your mind to that extent isn't good. If you have to alter your head that much all the time, you have problems and the problem is usually depression.

Hahaha... well, if any Getbiggers are ever in my APPROXIMATE location, I may be able to provide my EXACT location. :o :o ;D
@Big Dicked Bob
You looking to buy a new hood? I didn't have a hard plan but next thing I knew I was installing new Samsung appliances while the builder was doing finishing work! Things moved so quickly that in all the hustle and bustle I accidentally bought a new TV and surround sound system without consulting my wife. Whoops!! My bad. ;D

Medically, I would rather have someone use marijuana over opiates or benzos, if they get relief from it. Recreationally? I would rather someone use marijuana over alcohol etc.

while in criminal justice studies, I read marijuana has an incredibly non violent effect on users compared to other drugs. Meanwhile the US Dept of Justice says 40% of all violent crimes in the US have alcohol play a role, and the toll it takes socially, emotionally, and thus economically on society

Welcome to holland.

i do it sometimes but i prefer adult drugs, something that really gives you something worthy, when i smoked i cant do anything else, 1. cause im tired as fuck then when i hang out to long, 2. my eyes becomes tight so everyone sees i have smoked. btw i cant handle a lot, when i smoked 1 blunt im incredible stoned.

I'll walk straight into that Planet Fitness with a freshly lit Doobie dangling between my lips. Fuck em.
The key is to walk in there like you own the motherfcker

For me smoking weed is like an afternoon nap, ocassionaly after working very hard or while on vacation I deserve one, but in general it means your a lazy sack of shit, that should just die.

Would be shut the fuck up with this depression crap, there are a boatload of problems in life that don't revolved around it. Only a narcissistic race of people would be so obsessed about feeling sad. The reality is this epidemic of depression isn't the issue, it's what makes people happy that is so fucked up.

lol I don't toke in the gym, but I stand outside the doors and take a couple of huge drags right before my workout. The girls at the front desk smile at me as usual and everyone else wonders how I lift so heavy when I'm always blazing before the gym.
Can't workout without it. My body gets too stiff and I get a migraine.
